Sweet pipe tobacco and leather nose with some balsamic-raspberry notes, quite earthy/rustic, some salinity and a bit disjointed tasting but pleasant with food nonetheless, including homemade French onion soup when it showed its best. Tannins are dry but not overly rough, maybe another year or 2 of life but would't think too hard about it.

Pop and pour. Excellent Beaujolais with good concentration and richness for gamay. Subtle secondary elements add elegance and complexity. Good match with simply grilled salmon.

Medium garnet colour, shows signs of age Some rotting wet leaves aromas (in a good way!) and tertiary notes, as well as typical Beaujolais aromas Seems like a yeast-driven fermentation rather than semi-carbonic maceration. A serious rather than playful wine. This is a very pretty and gentle Beaujolais. Medium- tannins and medium body Would have difficulty standing up to many food pairings due to its prettiness An unusually good Beaujolais, but quite expensive for the category

Similar to last tasting note. Still drinking very well on short decant (virtually no sediment). Excellent overall.
